In  making  our  third  announcement  all  that  pertains  to  preceptors 
has  been  stricken  out,  and  it  will  be,  our  aim  to  follow  as  closely  as 
possible  the  curriculum  of  study  as  given  in  subsequent  pages  of  this 
announcement. 

Such  a  course  becomes  essential  in  order  to  do  anything  like  justice 
to  the  large  number  of  subjects  naturally  arising  in  this  department 
of  knowledge,  and  also  in  view  of  the  great  demand  for  a  higher 
medical  education  in  this  country. 

Dr.  McKee,  who  for  many  years  has  been  Superintendent  of 
Health  for  Wake  county,  will  give,  in  addition  to  his  regular  course 
of  lectures,  an  occasional  lecture  upon  Public  Health  and  Hygiene. 

Dr.  Haywood,  fora  long  time  Physician  to  the  North  Carolina  Deaf 
and  Dumb  and  the  Blind  Asylum,  in  his  course  of  lectures  upon  the 
Principles  of  Medicine,  will  consider  these  in  their  connection  with 
individual  diseases,  and  the  latter  will  be  treated  of  with  special  ref¬ 
erence  to  prophylaxis,  diagnosis,  prognosis,  and  treatment.  As  far 
as  possible  cases  exemplifying  the  different  diseases  will  be  presented 
to  the  class,  and  special  attention  will  be  given  to  afford  the  student 
as  much  practice  as  possible  in  Physical  Diagnosis. 

Dr.  Knox  brings  to  his  department  a  large  experience  gained  in 
some  of  the  best  hospitals  in  this  country. 

BUILDINGS. 

Through  the  very  liberal  donations  of  the  numerous  friends  of  the 
institution,  and  especially  of  Judson  W.  Leonard,  of  Hampden,  Mass., 
jand  other  members  of  the  family,  after  whom  this  department  is 
named,  the  President  and  Trustees  of  Shaw  University  have  been 
enabled  to  meet  a  long  felt  want  of  the  colored  people  and  to  estab¬ 
lish  this  new  department  of  the  University. 

There  have  been  erected  two  large  brick  buildings  for  the  especial 
accommodation  of  this  department.  One  of  these,  the  Leonard 
Medical  Building,  is  an  imposing  structure  of  beautiful  architectural 
proportions,  which  adorns  the  site  donated  by  the  North  Carolina 


8 


Annual  Announcement 


Legislature.  This  building  contains  the  lecture  rooms,  amphitheatre, 
laboratory,  dissecting  rooms,  &c.,  and  has  been  fitted  up  at  great 
expense.  It  is  intended  that  this  shall  afford  every  facility  to  the 
student  for  prosecuting  his  studies. 

During  the  summer  a  building  for  hospital  purposes  will  be  erected, 
and  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  by  the  first  of  November.  It  is  in¬ 
tended  that  this  shall  be  large  enough  to  accommodate  at  least  twenty- 
five  patients,  and  will  furnish  the  advanced  students  an  admirable  op¬ 
portunity  for  clinical  instruction. 

The  other  building,  the  Medical  Dormitory,  contains  rooms  to  ac_ 
commodate  sixty  students.  This  will  afford  the  young  men  a  pleasant 
home. 


APPARATUS. 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  Faculty  to  procure  everything  in  the  line 
of  apparatus  that  may  be  necessary  for  obtaining  a  higher  knowledge 
of  medicine.  The  Chemical  Laboratory  will  be  fitted  up  with  all 
necessary  appliances  for  a  practical  course  in  Chemistry.  In  the  de¬ 
partment  of  Anatomy  and  Physiology,  already  quite  a  number  of  the 
Auzoux  Anatomical  Models  (the  finest  made)  have  been  imported 
from  Paris,  and  others  will  be  added  from  time  to  time.  During  the 
past  year  we  have  greatly  added  to  our  list  of  models  and  in  the 
matter  of  chemical  apparatus.  Besides  these,  there  are  many  other 
preparations  and  models  which  will  be  increased  as  occasion  requires. 
Nothing  by  which  the  student  can  be  profited  will  be  omitted. 

The  school  has  just  received  a  fine  Microscope  and  an  excellent 
Magic  Lantern,  which  will  be  of  the  greatest  service  in  illustrating 
minute  Anatomy. 

COURSE  OF  STUDY. 

Appreciating  as  we  do  the  need  of  colored  physicians  thoroughly 
qualified  for  their  peculiar  work  among  their  people,  it  will  be  the 
aim  of  the  Faculty  and  Trustees  of  this  institution  to  graduate  none 
but  those  showing  themselves  possessed  of  such  knowledge  as  will 
fully  equip  them  for  a  successful  professional  life.  Believing  that  a 
graded  course  of  study  will  be  the  one  best  adapted  to  give  students 


Leonard  Medical  School. 


9 


the  requisite  knowledge,  it  has  been  deemed  best  that  a  course  of 
study  of  f oiu- years'  duration  should  be  established. 

Dr.  W.  W.  lv  een,  of  Philadelphia,  one  of  our  Trustees,  an  eminent 
physician,  and  a  firm  friend  of  the  school,  says  in  the  Medical  Nexus 
in  regard  to  the  wisdom  of  this  course  of  study  :  “They  [the  Faculty] 
have  wisely  decided  that,  in  view  of  the  limited  early  education  of  the 
colored  people,  the  medical  course  shall  be  four  years,  both  to  give  a 
thorough  graded  course,  and  the  opportunity  to  study  Latin  and  other 
branches  in  the  academic  department.  If  the  colored  man  is  to  enter 
medicine,  he  must  expect  just  what  the  white  man  does — a  fair  fight 
and  no  favors.  If  inferior  in  education  and  skill,  he  will  go  to  the 
bottom  ;  if  superior,  he  ought  to  go  to  the  top.” 

It  is  an  especial  aim  to  be  thorough,  and  no  student  will  receive  a 
degree  unless  he  can  pass  a  satisfactory  examination  in  all  the 
branches  pursued  in  the  four  years  course. 

The  students  will  be  divided  into  four  classes,  according  to  the 
number  of  years’  study. 

Students  who  may  perchance  come  from  other  schools  will  be  clas¬ 
sified  according  to  their  previous  study  and  medical  knowledge,  as 
ascertained  by  examination. 

ORDER  OF  STUDIES. 

FOR  FOUR  YEARS. 

For  the  First  Year — Anatomy,  Physiology,  General  Chemistry, 
and  Materia  Medica. 

For  the  Second  Year — Practical  Anatomy,  Medical  Chemistry, 
Physiology,"  Pathological  Anatomy,  Practice  of  Medicine,  and 
Surgery. 

F  OR  the  Third  Year — Therapeutics,  Obstetrics,  Theory  and  Prac¬ 
tice  of  Medicine,  and  Surgery. 

For  the  Fourth  Year — Oppthalmology,  Otology,  Dermatology, 
Syphilis,  Laryngology,  Diseases  of  the  Nervous  System,  Dis¬ 
eases  of  Women,  Diseases  of  Children,  Operative  Surgery, 
Forensic  Medicine. 

It  is  intended  that  clinical  methods  of  instruction  shall  be  pursued 
as  far  as  material  will  allow.

A  nniial  A  nnounce merit 


Examination  of  patients  will  be  made  and  surgical  operations  be 
performed  before  the  class  free  of  charge. 

A  Dispensary  has  been  established  where  the  students  can  have  the 
opportunity  of  seeing  patients  treated,  and  also  of  themselves  learn¬ 
ing  to  dispense  medicine.  This  will  make  the  students  practical  men, 
such  as  can  successfully  cope  with  disease  at  the  bedside. 

TERMS  OF  ADMISSION. 

Young  men  intending  to  apply  for  admission  to  this  school,  must 
be  at  least  eighteen  years  of  age,  and  will  be  required  to  pass  a  pre¬ 
liminary  examination  sufficient  to  show  their  fitness  to  enter  upon  the 
study  of  medicine,  unless  they  can  furnish  a  certificate  of  their j'pre- 
vious  standing  in  school  from  some  principal  or  president  of  a  reputa¬ 
ble  institution  of  learning. 

PRELIMINARY  COURSE. 

For  the  benefit  of  such  students  as  wish  to  enter  upon  the  study  of 
medicine,  and  yet  lack  the  required  preparation,  arrangements  have 
been  made  so  that  they  can  take  a  two  years’  course,  which  is  pre¬ 
liminary  to  the  regular  course.  This  will  include  instruction  in 
Latin,  Botany,  Physics,  Zoology,  Chemistry,  Physiology,  and  the  use 
of  the  microscope.  These  branches  will  enable  the  student  to  pursue 
with  greater  facility  the  study  of  the  Medical  Sciences. 

EXAMINATIONS  AND  GRADUATION. 

The  following  will  be  the  order  of  examinations  in  the  Graded 
Course  :  At  the  end  of  first  year,  in  General  Chemistry  and  Materia 
Medica  ;  at  end  of  second,  on  Anatomy,  Physiology,  and  Medical 
Chemistry  ;  at  end  of  third,  on  Therapeutics,  Obstetrics,  the  Princi¬ 
ples  and  Practice  of  Medicine,  and  Surgery  ;  at  end  of  fourth,  on  the 
special  branches  pursued  during  that  year. 

The  examinations  will  be  written  as  well  as  oral,  and  will  be  marked 
on  a  scale  of  one  Hundred.  A  failure  to  receive  sixty  per  cent,  in  any 
one  branch,  will  require  that  study  to  be  repeated  the  next  year,  and 
the  student  to  be  re-examined  in  the  same  at  close  of  that  year. 

Every  candidate  for  graduation  must  be  at  least  twenty-one  years 


Leonard  Medical  School.

of  age,  and  must  furnish  satisfactory  evidence  of  good  moral  charac¬ 
ter.  lie  shall  have  attended  the  four  years  graded  course,  or  its 
equivalent,  if  he  comes  from  another  school.  He  shall  be  required 
to  dissect  the  entire  cadaver.  He  shall  present  to  the  Faculty,  at 
such  a  time  before  graduation  as  they  may  appoint,  an  original  thesis 
upon  some  medical  subject,  the  graduation  fee  to  accompany  the 
same.  Satisfactory  examinations  must  be  passed  in  all  branches  of 
medicine  before  the  Faculty  in  the  manner  laid  down  in  the  first  part 
of  this  section,  and  he  must  receive  a  general  average  of  not  less  than 
seventy-five  per  cent,  in  all  the  branches. 

If  a  candidate  fail  to  pass  he  may  have  a  second  trial,  which  shall 
be  final  ;  failing  in  this,  his  graduation  fee  shall  be  returned  to  him 
and  he  may  try  again  at  the  next  annual  examination,  after  having 


taken  another  course  of  lectures  in  the  branches  in  which  he  is  deficient.

expenses  by  working  one  hour  each  day,  either  upon  the  grounds  or  in 
the  Industrial  Department. 

The  students  of  this  department  may  enjoy  all  the  benefits  of  the 
University  Library,  also  all  the  lectures  and  general  exercises  of  the 
other  departments. 

SCHOLARSHIPS. 

For  the  assistance  of  needy  and  meritorious  young  men,  general 
scholarships  from  thirty  to  sixty  dollars  have  been  established.  The 
late  Judson  W.  Leonard,  of  Hampden,  Mass.,  left  a  bequest  of  six 
thousand  dollars  to  the  President  of  the  University,  Rev.  H.  M. 
Tupper,  as  Trustee,  to  be  used  as  he  may  deem  best  in  the  education 
of  the  colored  people.  After  due  consideration,  it  has  been  judged 
best  to  invest  the  funds,  the  interest  to  be  used  in  scholarships  for 
deserving  young  men  who  desire  to  study  medicine.  This  fund  will 
furnish  at  least  five  scholarships  of  sixty  dollars  each,  which  will  be 
known  as  the  Leonard  Medical  Scholarships. 

During  the  past  session  scholarships  have  been  furnished  by  C.  F, 
Linde,  Orange,  N.  J.;  Hon.  Elijah  Shaw,  Wales,  Mass.;  John  D. 
Rockfellow,  New  York  City.  Also  from  the  John  F.  Slater  Fund. 

In  addition  to  this,  assistance  has  been  given  in  the  purchase  of 
apparatus  by  James  Pyle,  New  York  City,  Russell  Jennings,  Deep 
River,  Conn.,  and  also  from  the  John  F.  Slater  Fund. 

Young  men  desirous  of  availing  themselves  of  the  benefits  of  these 
scholarships  will,  during  the  summer,  furnish  the  President  of  the 
Faculty  satisfactory  evidence  that  they  are  persons  possessed  of  good 
moral  character,  of  having  sufficient  preliminary  education,  and  of 
being  actually  in  need  of  assistance. 

PRIZES. 

Two  prizes  were  offered  by  the  Professor  of  Anatomy  to  those 
young  men  who  showed  the  greatest  proficiency  in  this  branch  of 
medicine.  Mr.  H.  H.  Hines,  of  Rocky  Mount,  N,  C.,  received  the 
first,  and  Mr.  L.  A.  Scruggs,  of  Liberty,  Va.,  the  second.

Those  in  preliminary  studies  will  enter  the  regular  course  in  the  Fall. 
In  addition  to  these,  there  have  b£en  quite  a  number  of  applicants 
from  other  institutions  of  learning,  so  that  the  prospects  for  the  next 
regular  class  are  good.  Students  desiring  to  enter  upon  the  study  of 
medicine,  will  do  well  to  enter  the  preliminary  course,  if  they  feel 
that  they  are  not  sufficiently  ^advanced  to  begin  the  studies  of  the 
regular  course. 


inandal  imondiHon. 


1  he  important  work  of  founding  the  Leonard  Medical  School  in 
connection  with  Shaw  University,  has  been  steadily  going  forward 
for  the  last  four  years,  and  the  success  which  has  attended  the  effort 
calls  for  devout  thanksgiving  to  the  Bestower  of  all  good  ;  and  yet 
continued  effort  must  be  put  forth  in  order  to  meet  the  increased 
wants  of  this  department  of  instruction.  Twenty  additional  scholar¬ 
ships,  of  $60  each,  are  needed  for  the  ensuing  year  ;  also  funds  to 
complete  the  fitting  up  of  the  Chemical  Laboratory  and  the  purchase 
of  such  apparatus  as  is  needed  in  imparting  medical  instruction. 

The  President  of  the  Institution  takes  pleasure  in  announcing  to 
Northern  friends,  who  have  rendered  such  valuable  assistance  in  the 
past,  that  the  future  of  the  Medical  School  is  full  of  hope.  We  have 
at  the  beginning  established  a  four  years’  course  in  order  to  insure 
the  necessary  training,  and  guard  against  graduating  men  imperfectly 
educated  in  the  different  branches  of  medicine.  While  a  two  or 
three  years’  course  would  doubtless  at  first  have  secured  a  larger 
attendance  of  students,  yet  in  the  end  a  four  years’  course  will  insure 
thoroughness  that  will  give  confidence  and  confer  lasting  benefits. 

It  is  also  most  gratifying  that  the  Medical  Faculty  are  men  of 
talent  and  fully  alive  to  all  the  bearings  and  varied  interests  con¬ 
nected  with  this  effort  to  educate  colored  men  as  physicians.
